Investing in an outdoor sauna can be an excellent way to improve your health and well-being. To ensure that your sauna stays in perfect condition, it's important to look after it properly. Here are some tips for maintaining your outdoor sauna:
Regular cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your sauna looking and smelling fresh. It's important to clean the seats and walls with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. You should also sweep the floor regularly to prevent dirt and debris from accumulating.
Adequate ventilation
Proper ventilation is important to prevent moisture from accumulating in the sauna, which can lead to the growth of mold and mildew. Make sure your sauna has adequate ventilation, either through ventilation grilles or an open window. It's also a good idea to leave the sauna door open for a few minutes after each use to allow the air to circulate properly.
Protect the wood
When your outdoor sauna is made of Nordic Pine or another type of wood, it is important to protect the wood from the elements. Applying a protective sealant or oil to the outside of the wood helps prevent damage caused by humidity, UV rays and other environmental factors. Be careful never to put paint or any other type of varnish or wood protectant on the inside, as the heat and humidity will release toxins into the air.
Check for damage
Check your sauna regularly for signs of damage, such as cracks, dents or loose fixings. If you detect any damage, it's important to fix it as soon as possible to avoid further damage.
Check the heater
If your sauna has a heater, it's important to check regularly that it's working properly. Make sure that the stones are arranged correctly and that the heater is clean and free of debris. If you detect any problems with the heater, such as uneven heating or strange noises, it's important to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your outdoor sauna remains in perfect condition and provides you with many years of relaxation and rejuvenation.
